Headlines -- July 1, 2024

Locator: 48031TRUMP.

Decision on immunity: a win for Trump.

  • 6 -3 decision
    • pundits will get a lot of mileage out of that 6 -3 vote
    • but, a lot of SCOTUS decisions are split decisions, and many of them are even "worse," coming in at 5-4
    • will inflame a lot of passion: possibly a fund-raising bonanza for Trump
    • "possibly for Biden"-- a fund-raising bonanza -- CNBC reporter on DC politics
  • long decision -- 119 pages
    • pages 16 - 32: narrative on "official" vs "unofficial"
    • as CNBC  continues to read through the decision, Trump wins in a big way
  • comes at a time when Biden is stumbling
  • none of current "cases" will reach the courts before the election
    • if Trump wins election, would choose AG who has authority to shut down federal cases against Trump
  • most fun: interesting to listen how CNBC tries to spin this story 
  • bottom line: 
  • "headline" -- 30-second soundbite -- absolute immunity with regard to "official" acts
    • how can anyone with any common sense disagree with this?
    • did SCOTUS really change anything? Nope.
